Doug Ezzy, having taken shelter in Tasmania, pointed out the lack of
subtlety in most counting-based analysis. And I agree. The problem we
"qualitators" have is that no two of us are likely to come up with the
same set of codings. Autocoding (being mechanical) is at least
reproducible.
Has anyone done a study of the codings of a piece of text by different
coders? Say people who have no prior agreements about what to code?
